Description: The classical tachykinins, substance P, neurokinin A and neurokinin B are predominantly found in the nervous system where they act as neurotransmitters and neuromodulators. Their respective preferred ... More

Description: We used multiple-labeling immunohistochemistry and confocal microscopy to examine co-expression of immunoreactivity for vesicular glutamate transporters (VGluTs), synaptic vesicle proteins, and solubl... More

Description: Previous studies have observed increased tachykinin NK1 receptor immunoreactivity (NK1-IR) in the prefrontal cortex in subjects with schizophrenia. Since the subjects were medicated the possibility of... More

Description: The postulate that Substance P (SP) plays a neurotransmitter-like role in the arterial chemo- and thermoreflex control of ventilation was examined in conscious rabbits. The investigation was based on ... More

Description: Afferent fibres from the arterial baro and chemoreceptors travel in the glossopharyngeal and vagus nerves to terminate mainly in the nucleus of the solitary tract (NST) (see Palkovitz and Zaborsky, 19... More
